Probably one of the biggest limitations right now for Duplicati is the lack of a thorough, up to date manual that helps the user along with little details like this, as well as step-by-step on some items. I realize that the program is still in development, the developers probably don’t have time to work on a manual which will be constantly changing, and that most of those who are following the program are more savvy (and multi-platform aware) than some users who might be interested but a bit perplexed by some stuff. Still, it I think it would help if people who stumble across Duplicati feel more invited to stay, or to consider coming back if things have not quite gelled for them. Having more description of what the program does and what to expect in the future would help build your audience.
Not sure how this should work, but for now I am trying to do this in terms of “how-to”'s (see How-To for progress). There is also a very bare-bones “getting started” guide here:
Maybe we should link to that article, or the how-to’s from the WebUI ?
